Will you smile for me once,
and smile for me twice?
Even though you're blushing
I still want to see your light.
Behind the darkened blanket
loosely clenched fists do rise
and cover half your glowing face.
Strands of hair follow through
with your intent to simply hide,
They slyly cover up your eyes,
allowing more time to pass us by.
Still, I only see a smiling girl
and how she smiles for me.

The author's comments:
I was listening to City and Colour and you were the only thing on my mind. I like it when your guard is down, it makes me feel safe. That's why I wrote this poem to sing, my beautiful girl.
